The highest-ranked prospect on the 2026 NC State basketball wishlist is now set to visit the Wolfpack.
Last Monday, Little Rock Christian Academy junior JJ Andrews, son of Arkansas football legend and two-time NFL Pro Bowl offensive lineman Shawn Andrews, revealed only three scheduled official visits: to Missouri on Sept. 13-15, to Arkansas on Oct. 18-20, and to LSU on Nov. 8-10. A trip to Raleigh to check out the NC State basketball program was absent from the 6-foot-6, 220-pound stock-riser's locked-in plans at the time.
That said, in light of his fall calendar, it feels safe to say that NC State, Missouri, Arkansas, and LSU are top contenders for the explosive backcourt talent at this juncture. He landed on the 2026 NC State basketball offer sheet back on June 15, the first day that college coaches were permitted to contact rising juniors directly.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of NC State Wolfpack on SI, Duke Blue Devils on SI, and North Carolina Tar Heels on SI, making him a key source for comprehensive coverage of these storied college basketball programs.
